We just got done with 3 meetings and have one more left before lunch. I've been catching on smoothly and I can tell that he is very pleased. There were some moments that I'd have to change the cold aura that Mr. Uchiha gave off. He was always so blunt and straightforward when it came to the meetings. When it came to the 'private' meeting, he'd asked me to step out until it was over and seemed too overwhelmed to proceed with it but did anyway.
Hmm... I wonder who could've made him this cold. Could it be that Tsunade girl?
I let out a faint groan caused by the massive headache I woke up with. I can't believe that Ino pig let me drink even after she knew today was my first day at my new job.
"C'mon Sakura! Please drink with me!", Ino pouts as she holds out an extra glass of wine for me. The only alcoholic drink I will ever take is wine, which I'm a total sucker for, and Ino ALWAYS has to have it her way."Ino it's 9:43 at night and I have to wake up early for work tomorrow morning!" I turn my head and sigh. Kiba had came by earlier with his new puppy to drop off some wine that he hooked Ino up with and was accompanied by a guy with a bowl haircut and bushy brows that would NOT stop flirting with me."Awe forehead, don't be a bummer!" She begins to tug at my shirt and flutters her long eyelashes. I look at her and swear that her blue eyes almost twinkled and begged me to join her. I give her a stern look signaling a 'Are-you-kidding-me-right-now?' look and she replies with a puppy face insisting that I join her. I let out a groan and roll my eyes. I take the wine glass from her and stick my tounge out at her.I hesitate to chug the glass of wine and place it down on the table. She smiles and replies, "Trust me forehead, this wine is AMAZING!"
I glance at Mr. Uchiha who was leaning against his desk with his two hands against it. He seemed pretty worn out... at least until after his private meeting with Tsunade.
They probably fucked on his desk and he's reminiscing that moment!
I look at his desk and shake the thought out of my head. From what I've seen so far, Mr. Uchiha is strict, he wouldn't do that...
I sit at my desk and open my email account and notice an inbox from an unsaved contact.
"Ms. Haruno,
Congratulations on the new job. I would like to inform you that an emergency came up involving one of my pets. Mr. Uchiha knows how dear they are to me. I would like to request and reschedule a new appointment at his next available time. I know Mr. Uchiha can be a very busy man and very demanding but please have patience with him.
Thank you.
-Hatake Kakashi"
I don't fully know how Mr. Uchiha is with rejection and I hope he makes an exception. I bite my lip, force a smile, and look up at him who was eyeing me cautiously.
"Mr. Hatake has informed me that an emergency came up involving his pets and would like to reschedule in your next available time." I stand up and walk towards him with my iPad in my arm and a stylus pen in my free hand. The sounds of my heels echo through the big and quiet room and thank them in my head for disrupting the silence.
Mr. Uchiha watches my body as it naturally sways and stands up straight as he fixes his black tie. He clears his throat and faces away from me allowing his long, dark hair to move with him.
"When is the next available time?", he hesitantly asks. I glance down at my iPad and open up his calender. I scan through the month of January and all days are full. I swipe to the right and notice that the first day of February
"February 1st at 9 a.m. sharp" I smile at him gracefully. He looks up at me and nods his head. His phone vibrates and he glances at the screen, letting out a scoff. I turn around and walk towards my desk while looking down at my iPad rescheduling Mr. Hatake's appointment.
Mr. Uchiha and I have 1 hour to spare. Should I make an excuse and have lunch earlier?
Oh don't be a scaredy cat! Just busy yourself with anything and keep your head up high.
Tch. I wish it was that easy. I sit down on my chair straight and tall and build up the confidence to say, "Everything alright Mr. Uchiha?"
"I'm fine." He murmurs almost immediately. He walks slowly towards me with a blank stare and pauses in front of me. He looks down and reaches his hand towards my neck causing my muscles to tense up. I look into his half lidded, onyx eyes and sense a change of mood in him. I bite my lip and and feel my heart stopping at every inch his hand gets closer to my neck. I blush in advance and become aware that his eyes are indeed staring at my lips.
I part my lips slowly and look at his as he loosens up his tie with a smirk and begins to lean closer.
Oh kami
He licks his lips and a sudden noise of vibration breaks the connection. He pulls his hand away and hesitates to look down at his phone.
I take a moment to catch myself as I began to feel heated at the recent event.
Er, what's going on...?
Almost immediately he walks away and towards the door "Ms. Haruno follow me."
I confusingly nod my head and gather up my things and make my way towards him.
"Leave your stuff here. It won't be long."
"Er,ok." I reply. I leave my iPad, purse and pen on top of my desk and make my way back to him again. His eyes are staring out the door avoiding eye contact with me. He opens the door for me and let's me out as he locks it behind me.
We make our way towards the elevator where low volume piano music is playing. Mr. Uchiha presses the 1st floor button, let's out a small sigh and stands next to me placing his hands in his pockets.
A moment of silence fills the elevator causing me to feel uneasy. I bite my lip to distract myself from my thoughts and begin to think of different conversations to start.
"If you don't mind me asking, where is it that we may be going to?".
"Don't worry about it. Just come with me.", he replies.
Commanding me and not letting me know where we are headed to? I don't know If this is interesting or if I should be worried.
I purse my lips and fix my hair strand on my face and put it behind my ears.
I look at him and notice him staring at me with his cold eyes that are almost eating my confidence alive. He swiftly makes his way towards me with a smirk making me feel uneasy. I feel my face getting hot and find it difficult to look away.
He stops right in front of me, takes his hand out of his pockets and reaches out to pull that annoying strand of hair back behind my ear again.
Oh kami, he's manipulating me with his eyes and body language.
He let's out a low chuckle that rumbles throughout my body raising white flags of surrender.
I can feel my face burning hot and my panties tensing up. I open my lips in hopes to initiate another conversation only for him to slide his hand to the nape of my neck and tangle his hands into my hair and slowly bringing me closer to his face.
Oh kami is this really happening?
I feel the area around my panties moisten up and my thighs tense up together. As he leans in closer to my face I feel his warm breath against my skin. I close my eyes an-
"Now Sasuke not an office affair is it?" Mr. Uchiha closes his eyes and purses his lips letting out a small annoyed grunt. I turn my head to the elevator door to find Obito staring right at us with his arms crossed against his chest and a smirk across his face with an eyebrow raised. I was too caught up in the moment to hear the elevator bell ding when it had opened for Obito.
Doesn't he look yummy.
I brush off the thought and feel my face flush even more and look away in shame.
Mr. Uchiha clears his throat and fixes his shirt. "Excuse me and my rudeness, Obito. Might I introduce my new assistant? Ms. Haruno-"
"Sakura. Yes we've met and I plan to know more than just her name." Obito winks at me and let's out a small chuckle. I smile in embarrassment and glance at Mr. Uchiha who twitched his eyebrow in annoyance and chuckles. "Surely you will." He replies as if accepting a challenge as he finally steps back and faces the elevator door. "Do you have everything for today's meeting?".
"Ah, yes. I was making my way to the parking lot and head out to pick up some papers I had left in the car.", he says keeping his flirty, half-lidded eyes on me as he enters the elevator and walks up beside me placing his hand right hand on my lower back almost on my rear.
A little lower and we'll call it a day.
I bite my lip and look down at my black heels and focus on my balance to calm my lustful, inner Sakura side.
Mr. Uchiha clears his throat and sternly replies, "Obito, I'll have you respect my employees or else. You wouldn't want the media to know about Rin now, would you?"
Obito removes his hand from my back slowly and chuckles in defeat. "Ahh Sasuke, you haven't changed one bit." Mr. Uchiha raises his eyebrow and smirks "Bummer. Shouldn't you be working on the shipment statuses?"
"Yes, your highness, and, like I said, I was on my way to pick up some papers to finish it off.". He sounds annoyed and it makes me feel uncomfortable.
Mr. Uchiha let's out a smirk, runs his fingers through his hair and glances at his watch as he elevator doors open. He makes his way through while passing a look at Obito causing him to get pent up with frustration.
"I'll be on my way now Obito, see you at our meeting." Mr. Uchiha faces forward and continues out the door as I catch up to him trying to be as calm as possible in shock of what happened.
I can't help but feel so weak when Mr Uchiha gives me that cold look.
It's like he sucks the courage right out of me and brings out my inner Sakura.
Damn him.
"Please excuse my cousin Obito. He has a problem and as you have seen, is a little too comfortable." He replies annoyed. I reply with a nervous laugh and nod my head in hopes it'll please him.
I make my way next to Mr. Uchiha and bite my lip. Such a bad habit. We walk past the parking lot and into a small building with a wide opening and sign reading "Uchiha Property."
Mr. Uchiha steps inside and takes out his keys.
What could he possibly need with his keys at a place like this?
He whispers something to a guard who was in a small, open office only footsteps away from the gate and replies with a small nod. The guard takes the keys from Mr. Uchiha and into his office. He presses a button resulting in the gate buzzing and opening allowing him inside.
He gives me a brief cold look and glances into his phone as he unlocks the screen. His eyebrows gave off an angry look and his eyes were full of annoyance. He let's out a deep sigh and rubs his temple.
What could possibly be bothering him?
I look down and fix the hem of my pencil skirt that was folding upwards. I fix the collar of my blouse and run my hands down the sides my thighs slowly as I daze into the thought of the elevator incident.
What would I have done if he kissed me? I brush my lips softly with my fingers and feel the wind against my pink hair. I would not have minded discovering a new feel of lips from a man so handsome. I've only been with a few men, including him, but none of them have ever caught my attention so easily. Mr. Uchiha's eyes are so manipulative and his mysterious aura adds to his features. His smooth talking sweeps me off his sweet. He can literally say ANYTHING and I'll feel my sexual frustration pent up.
The sound of a smooth engine snaps me back into reality and arrives from the direction of the small building. A black, polished Ferrari with tinted windows, beaming lights, and amazing rims slowly approaches us causing me to stare in amazement.
The guard excuses himself out the car and bows down to Mr. Uchiha. He thanks the security guard and makes his way to the passenger side and opens the door, "Ms. Haruno?". He signals me over to him and I blush in response as I make my way towards his beautiful car. I thank him as I sit down on the black leather seat and he closes the door for me.
For a strict man he didn't come off as a gentlemen. Not only am I about to ride his car, but I wouldn't mind riding his...
Bzzzzz! Before I can finish my unclean thoughts, I reach for my vibrating phone and glance at the notification. Ino texted me.
Hey forehead! Just wanted to check up on u on ur first day ;)
Sorry I'm texting late, I just woke up and I have THE WORST hang over ever lol
How's the new boss? Is he big ;) let me Know soon!
Xoxo
Damn that pig! I hurriedly text back before Mr. Uchiha comes in and shut my phone off to exclude any further disturbances.
Shut up Ino pig!
How about u mind ur own business!!
No kisses for u!
-Sakura
The sound of Mr. Uchiha's approach alarms me causing me to sit up straight and grab onto the hem of my skirt. He closes the door and puts on his seatbelt. I bite my lip at the thought of Ino text 'is he big?' and I can't help but glance over at his slacks just above his zipper and trace the supposed shape. I bite my lip and look up only to see Mr. Uchiha staring right at me with a smirk.
Oh god
Did he just catch me staring?
I feel a burning sensation across my face and I quickly look out into the open and place my hair behind my ear. I feel so embarrassed and shameful that it causes my ears to perk up and my legs to tense
I feel Mr. Uchiha shift closer to me resulting in us meeting eyes and him leaning onto me.
Oh god not this again.. did I really want this? He's my boss and I can't afford to end up ruining my business-like appearance.
I fiddle at my skirt and look down at his lips only to see them move closer to me and slowly part showing a small image of his pink, smooth tongue. I can feel his warmth against mine as he brings out his left arm towards me. I close my eyes to ready myself for this tempting feeling .
Click. The sound of my seat belt clicking resulted in me grimacing against the leather seat. "Safety first.", he says. I open my eyes and see Mr. Uchiha switch gears and head off to the road.
What...
Did that actually even happen? This all feels surreal. I groan at the thought of how much I have been teased.
Or have I been teasing myself...?
I can't tell whether Mr. Uchiha knows what he's doing to me or if he even means to ...
"How is your first day so far at Uchiha industries, Ms. Haruno?", Mr. Uchiha says. Oh Geez you don't even know ...
"Er, it's going smoothly. I'm looking forward for the more days to come, Mr. Uchiha." I bite my lip trying my best to avoid eye contact with him to prevent another misconduct action.
"As am I Ms. Haruno. I'm sure you'll grow accustomed to the business soon." Mr. Uchiha reaches over and turns on the radio playing classical music on low.
Finally something to calm my anxiety!
I relax my tense legs and look out the window. "Very soon" he finishes. I purse my lips and feel heat across my face. How long is this going to last?
I hear a sudden vibration and look at the direction it's coming from only to find Mr. Uchiha glancing at his phone and putting it down not even a second after. His expression changes and drives a little faster. The feeling in the car causes me to feel uneasy and uncomfortable. Usually when Ino sets up this emotion I try asking her what's wrong and she responds with the occasional 'don't worry'. Maybe it'll work on him?
"Is everything alright Mr. Uchiha?". Who ever is texting him is obviously pissing him off.
"Of course Ms. Haruno, no need to worry about me." He replies calmly. There's a brief moment of silence only making me even more tense. He may seem cold but he comes off as a gentlemen. Still...is he purposely doing those stunts? Or maybe I'm just confusing it with kindness.
What about the elevator ? No way in hell is that a coincidence!
I look at my phone and check the time. It's only been 20 minutes since the elevator incident and Mr. Uchiha is acting like nothing has happened. Should I just act like nothing happened as well? I sigh in frustration and nod.
We pull up to a small and aged coffee shop and park in front. As I reach towards the car door I feel a warm hand rest on my back causing me to wince. "Don't. I'll open it for you." Mr. Uchiha insists.
"O-okay" I thankfully say. He climbs out of the car and makes his way around the front of the car.
I take a moment to check him out and how well fitted his pants are on his bottom. His gold watch reflecting the sunlight off it, his navy blue button up shirt pressed up against his chest revealing his fit pecks and his blazer only matching colors with his black slacks and hair that is straight in the front and messy with small spikes on the back.
Oh my
Mr. Uchiha opens the door for me and I unbuckle my seatbelt. I make my way out of the car as he locks it right behind me.
He opens the door and I take a big whiff of the aroma that I so dearly love; freshly brewed coffee with a hint of cinnamon along with some fresh-out-of-the-oven cinnamon rolls and other goodies!
Kami! This smells amazing!
Mr. Uchiha approaches a small round table with two wooden,polished chairs. He pulls one of them out for me and I place myself down on it while thanking him. "Hn" he replies taking a seat across from me.
A red haired waitress comes up to us and blushes at Mr. Uchiha . "May I take your order, sir?" She asks shyly. Mr. Uchiha looks up to her and smiles making her blush even more.
Kami, I haven't seen him smile! It's so heart warming. My heart races and I look away from him.
"Yes, some dark coffee would be nice with a warm cookie please." He looks to me and asks "And what about you Ms. Haruno?". I look at the red haired waiter who looks bothered by me being accompanied by Mr. Uchiha and I smile at her, "Caramel macchiato please and a cinnamon bun."
"Will that be all?" The red hair replies. I look at Mr. Uchiha giving him the signal that I was done ordering. He nods at her and turns to me as a cue of dismissing her.
I let my hands rest on the small round table and look around the coffee shop. There aren't many employees and they have freshly baked desserts. The floors and walls are wood that seem to be worn down and there are many round tables scattered around the place evenly with people here and there. There were many scenery paintings all over the café similar to the ones in the office. All of them seem to fit the environment so evenly. Soft piano music was playing and soft murmurs fill the room.
"We donated the paintings we got in an auction to this café." He pauses, "This café has been around for years." I glance at Mr. Uchiha who was staring right at me and feel my face begin to heat up. "That's very nice of Uchiha industries." I stammer. I feel a tingly feeling on my toes causing me to press my thighs together.
The red haired girl comes back with a tray of our orders. She has lip gloss on and her hair is a little messy on the back and side. She's wearing red glasses and is wearing the cafe's uniform; a black skater skirt with a tight brown t shirt that has the cafe's logo on it and black flats.
"Here you go sir, is there anything else you need?" She flirts to Mr. Uchiha. "May I have the receipt please?" He replies looking at her with a smile.
That smile again...
Her face flushes and she nods her head and sways her way back to the cashier and mumbles something to her. The cashier looks our way, giggles and nods her head handing her a small paper.
"I'll pay for mine Mr. Uchiha" I say kindly to him. "No need for that Ms. Haruno, I don't mind paying for us. After all it's my treat for your first day on the job." He interrupted me before I can reach down for my.. wait, where's my purse??
"Not to mention, you left your purse at the office, remember?" I pause and look at him. He coldly stares at me and I can't tell if he's bothered by it. At least, he shouldn't be. He was the one who told me to leave it behind.
I chuckle and reply with "Ah yes, I almost forgot Mr. Uchiha. Thank you for reminding me." I was beginning to feel a little nervous and warm so I unbutton my blazer revealing my white button up shirt and rest it on my lap.
Bzzzzzzzz! My phone vibrates and I look at the screen reading: Ino Pig with a little pig emoji beside it.
Calm down forehead. I'm only joking lol :3
Please don't forget to buy wine because , Uh, I kinda finished it :p
Teehee! I'll pay you when u get here!
You should ask your boss for a recommendation ;)
I sigh and turn off the screen. Ino has a bad habit of drinking wine, every damn day, regardless of time. I'm starting to worry she might end up with alcohol poisoning.
I've known Ino since we were in grade school and she's always been there for me no matter what, even though we've gotten in countless arguments before him.
I always come to her for advice on anything because she's much more experienced with men than I am. She has long blonde hair that's usually in a pony tail and has natural beautiful blue eyes. She always has to have some kind of purple on her , whether it's her socks, underwear or lipstick, she can't seem to go a day without wearing purple. I've always been jealous of her slim body because she has all the right curves on all the right places. She's so easy to attract guys and I don't blame them, she's perfect.
"H-here's your receipt sir" the redhead stutters. She places the paper with the total and bows. I look up to find her giving me an ugly stare as she turned her back against me and walked back to the cashier only to whisper something in her ear causing her to look at me and nod her head as if agreeing with her.
What's her deal?
Mr. Uchiha takes a sip of his dark coffee and closes his eyes. "Hn." He groans.
Coffee makes him feel that way?
I close my eyes and take a sip of my macchiato and let out a small sigh of pleasure.
Ahh kami , this hits the spot! .. I wonder if Mr. Uchiha can too.
I bite my lip and take a small bite of my cinnamon roll. The warm feeling against my tounge and the sweet taste on my taste buds cause me to let out a small moan.
Kami this cinnamon bun is even better! I open my eyes and find Mr. Uchiha staring at the paintings with a weird look on his face while hiding his mouth with his hand. Is he.. blushing?
"A-are you o-"
"I'm fine", he interrupts. He removes his hand from his face and avoids look my direction.
Did I do something?
We both finish our coffee and dessert and head towards the cashier. I step outside while he pays for the both of us. I put on my blazer and button it upbelow my chest. I glance at my reflection In the windows of the café and fix my hair. Mr. Uchiha comes out-of the cafe and opens the car door for me allowing me in and closes it. I put my seat belt on because Kami knows I don't want another misunderstanding to happen yet again.
We make our way back to Uchiha Industries and into the office to continue on our scheduled meetings for the rest of our day.
Work is finally over and I feel sooooo exhausted having to stay on my 3 inch high heels for hours straight to take notes without having any restroom breaks. Not to mention this damn hangover!
Kami, Mr. Uchiha wasn't lying when he says he was a busy man.
Obito would NOT stop trying to converse with me even though I had kept bringing up the shipment statuses. "Just give in, kitten. Let's stop talking about boring things and have some fun time in my office.", he said as he winked to me. I had blushed and got interrupted by Mr. Uchiha's stern remark "Obito, Rin." I wonder what 'Rin' had to do with Obito.
I bite my lip at the conversation from earlier and grab my things from my desk. "Alright Mr. Uchiha, we are finally done with work and I will see you again tomorrow morning." I smile at him and make my way to the door.
"Hn. Have a good afternoon Ms. Haruno." He replies with a sigh. His phone vibrates and he looks at it and once again gets bothered. He leans back up against the wall and massages his temples with his fingers and opens his mouth slightly.
His mouth was so close to mine earlier.
I feel my face flush. "Y-you too." I reply. I close the door and walk out into the hallway and into the elevator. Once I reached the first floor I wave at the nice, busty receptionist and smile. She does the same and blushes.
She's so adorable.
I walk towards my car and into the drivers seat. I sigh and bite my lip. So much happened today...
I turn on my car and make my way to the corner store by my apartment to purchase the wine Ino told me to do earlier. I park my car and take off my blazer and roll up my sleeves 3/4ths up and head inside.
Oh god this headache!
I walk to the medicine aisle and pick up a bottle of Advil pills. As I walk around trying to find the wine section I put my pink hair up in a pony tail with the hair tie I had on my wrist.
Kami ! I'm so sweaty.
I walk up to the many colored wine bottles and sigh. I have no idea of what Ino's wine preference is because she always seems to change it.
I whip out my phone and speed dial Ino.
Haiiiiiiii! Sorry I couldn't come to the phone right now, but please leave me your name and number and I'll get back to you soon! Thank you!
I sigh at the sound of her voicemail and call back again only for her to not answer.
What could that pig be doing!
I hesitate and grab a random wine bottle with fancy cursive. It was dark red with black stripes wrapping around the bottle.
I feel my phone vibrate in my hands and look down at my screen at the words Ino Pig while walking until I bump into someone's chest.
I look up as my face flushes and immediately apologize until I recognize the face.
"Wow nice taste, kitten," Obito playfully responds. "I see you love the fruity taste rather than the actual alcohol. Might I inform you that I-" he slides his hands down my sides and onto my hips while locking his onyx eyes on mine ,"love fruity tastes as well." He brings his hand up to my neck and tangles it into my hair, "And your pink hair gives off that fruity vibe and only makes me wonder how you taste, kitten."
O-oh my
I look away from him and down at my hands that are holding the wine. "Thanks." I manage to say. I bite my lip and feel Obito's hand picking up my chin and leans in to my face until a forgotten memory comes up about him causing me to turn my head resulting in him kissing my cheek.
"What's wrong?" Obito says with a frown, "Don't be shy with me kitten, we'll take this slow, if you'd like." He backs off me and chuckles. I nod my head hoping he'd finally leave me alone.
"Is that all you're buying today from the store?" He asks politely giving a smile.
He was holding a 6 pack of beer and a small box of cigarettes. He was still wearing his suit from work and he looked a little worn out.
"Yes actually." I reply and gather my confidence. I walk beside him and continue, "I'll be on my way to pay now. And there is no 'we'."
Almost immediately Obito catches up replying with ,"As was I until I ran into you, kitten. And there will be a 'we' sooner or later. I've got my eyes set on you". I swallow hard and ignore his words in disbelief of how cocky he is.
We make our way to the cashier and I pay for my stuff. I thank the cashier and wave off a goodbye to Obito. He smiles at me and quickly pays for his stuff and runs up to me. He opens the door for me and says "Not so fast kitten, I still have to get your number." He chuckles as he smirks.
He takes out his phone and looks up to me and says "May I?" I give him a sincere smile and apologize, "Sorry, now's not a good time." He frowns and walks me to my car. He takes out a card from his pocket and writes a note on it and hands it to me. "Wha-" "Call me if you ever need anything, kitten." Obito interrupts.
He kisses my hand goodbye and winks at me. "I'll be waiting your call." Obito turns around and makes his way around the building with his hands in his pockets. I shake my head and unlock the car door.
I enter my car and rub my temples. This damn headache! I open the bottle of Advil and take two pills on my hand and drink a bottle of water I had left on the passengers side the night before and quickly swallow my pills with a gulp of water.
I sigh and look at the card that Obito handed me:
Here's my number kitten
I'll be waiting.
I giggle at his messy writing and shake my head.
Ah Obito, you may look good but your writing just sucks!
I start up my engine, turn on the radio and toss the card onto the passenger seat. I take off to mine and Ino's shared apartment and ready myself for our conversation of my first day.
I make my way into my apartment and yell out "I'm home pig!". Soon after Ino comes out of her room and stops in the beginning of the hallway with an excited smile.
"Sooooo, how was it?" She says. I close my eyes and smile. I drop my purse on the couch. I laugh while shaking my head and make my way past her and into my room. Ino follows me and jumps on my bed and lays on her stomach. "Come on forehead! Spill! Did you guys fuck on his desk?" She teases.
"Ino!" I embarrassingly reply. I walk to the closet, take off my high heels and put on my fluffy, polka-dot socks. I take off my white blouse, take off my bra, and put on my green tank top. I unzip my skirt and swing on some black yoga pants.
"Don't you look comfortable forehead." She laughs and I laugh with her. We walk to the kitchen and put the wine in the freezer for it to cool faster. I glance at the wine bottle that Ino had supposedly finished and make direct eye contact to Ino causing her to flinch and ask,"What? I just wanted a back up OK Geez chill forehead! Plus you got the good kind! How did you know which one to get?"
I close the freezer, cross my arms and reply, "I completely free balled it and guessed! Which reminds me," I walk closer to her and pinch her, "wHY did you not answer your phone!".
She flinches and punches me back. "Chill forehead! I was on the phone with someone I met recently at my job. His name is Sai and he is just so dreamy." She flutters her eyes and flops on the couch.
Ino works at a flower shop that is run by her family. She doesn't usually stick to one guy ever since her ex boyfriend of 4 years Shikamaru cheated on her with an old friend named Temari. We're about the same age only Ino looks much older than I am, 23.
"And why didn't YOU answer YOUR phone, huh?!" She snaps at me. I blush and turn my head away from her to reach for two wine glasses for the both of us. "I bumped into someone." I murmur hoping she didn't hear me.
She inches closer to me and giggles "oh and who might that have been, huh?" She pokes at my sides and jumps back avoiding my shove. "His name is None-Of-Your-Business pig!".
I pour some wine into our wine glasses and take a seat at the dining table. Ino follows me and sits across from me, turning on the TV. "Oh, so it's a 'he'?" She replies. "Yes, Ino, and he's my coworker. No funny business anywhere." I snap. Ino has always been so nosey and I know she knew there was more to the story.
"Is he now? So what's his name?", she sips from her glass and looks at me while wiggling her eyebrows at me as if they were worms. I laugh at her reaction and reply , "Obito Uchiha. And he's my boss's cousin. And let me tell you that he is just so ... yummy", I hesitate.
I continue, "He calls me kitten and he flirts so much with me." Ino almost choked at what I was saying to her. "I keep trying to be professional but sometimes I let my anxiety get to me and I become so nervous. I just want to avoid anything because I don't want the same thing to happen again."
She stays silent and nods her head. I let out a sigh and rest my head on the table. Ino and I have a few more glasses of wine and she talked about her new crush Sai. Apparently he's an artist and painted her as a 'thank-you-for-meeting-me-gift.' He's very romantic and is also straightforward which I know Ino likes.
After finishing the bottle that Ino supposedly finished earlier, I giggle at the TV and browse my phone. I feel dizzy and so giggly over everything and Ino is still sober. She has such a high tolerance.
"Obito gave me his number." I giggle and close my eyes at the thought of imagining him without his shirt on. "Have you texted him yet?" Ino replies kinda slurred. I look at her and realized she's barely getting buzzed. I place my phone face down on the table and reply, "Not yet, tee-hee!" I giggle and grab my keys. "I'm going to go buy some more wine, wanna join?" I ask Ino. "Nah, I think I'll wait here."
I walk to my car and reverse out in attempt to make my way to the corner store. I'm a little buzzed and I don't know my way around here yet. Feeling buzzed always gave me the confidence and that didn't stop me from trying to make my way to the corner store, drunk. The next thing you know I stop at a stop and go and see that I'm in a field of nothing with tall grass. There is no light except for the moonlight and headlights coming up from behind me.
A red car comes up and bumps into my car, not hard enough to ruin my car but hard enough to cause a scratch and bang my head forward.
I roll down my window, stick my head out and yell at the red car "What the hell! Are you crazy?!" I flick them off, sit back down, and roll up my window.
What the hell man. People are so careless and crazy! I don't even know where I'm at..
I look at the time on the radio and read 10:56 p.m.. It's about to be 11 oh crap. I've been on the road for almost an hour. Ino must be worried. I look for my phone only to realize that I left it back on the table. Oh kami! I drive forward letting the road take me to the closest phone booth. I turn left and realize that the red car has been making the same turns as I have.
Oh crap
I see a light close by and follow it. Yes! A gas station! I look at my rearview mirror and see the car getting closer.
I park in front of the store and bite my nails. I don't know inks number because she'd always changed her number because of her stalker-ex Shikamaru. I feel my heart begin to race in panic and remember the card Obito had handed me. I look at the passengers side and see the card. I grab it and make my way in the store. I look outside and see the red car park a few parking spaces away from mine.
There wasn't a cashier in sight so I make my way to the back where usually all payphones were at. I trace the number on it with my fingers and dial it onto the phone. After a couple of rings, the phone picks up.
"Hello?" Says Obito. My heart thumps at his sleepy voice and I immediately whisper, "Obito please help me!"
"Wha- who's this?"
"It's me Sakura! Please come and help me, I drank a little too much and came to buy more wine but I took a wrong turn and-"
"Where are you?"
I look around in sonic until I read a sign that says Ichiraku Stop-N-Go!
"Ichiraku Stop-N-Go. Please hurry he's parked close by an-"
"Stay there and wait for me. Don't go outside, I'll be there."
He hangs up.
I place the phone line back to its place and stand by the candy aisle keeping an eye on my car to make sure it doesn't get jacked. I see the red cars' head lights turn off and open the door. My heart stops at the sight of who came out and I immediately feel the life leave out of my body.
Are my eyes deceiving me?
I wrap my arms around myself to stop the shuddering even though I wasn't cold.
It was him.
